Glad you're ok!<br /><br />I was traveling back to Perth from Margaret River with my then boyfriend and our two friends back in 1989-ish when a car heading towards us suddenly came across to our side of the road (there were no other cars around). My BF swerved to the right, and the car completely crossed our lane and landed in a ditch and crashed in to a tree. We ran out of our car to see if the driver was ok. He was. He had fallen asleep at the wheel. We were so lucky he fell asleep when he did, and not seconds later. Otherwise he'd have hit us. We were all pretty shaken up. <br /><br />*crosses fingers*Jodie Anstedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300961546795965857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-84245114933005245602011-05-03T15:21:11.381+10:002011-05-03T15:21:11.381+10:00Oh Thea, I felt your fright reading this post. So ...Oh Thea, I felt your fright reading this post. So many stupid things happen on our roads and isn't it awful that we have these 'notorious stretches' on some of our roads... almost willing bad things to happen.<br />21 years ago, a panel van crossed the median strip from the other side of the road and veered into the car I was travelling in with my parents and one of my brothers. Thank goodness no one was killed, but the extent of our injuries were horrendous, my Mum's the worst of all of us. Through no fault of our own, our lives were turned upside down by someone else's impatience to overtake while speeding.<br />I was 11 at the time and vowed I would never drive, I was terrified of going in cars for years. Of course, I do drive and have done since I was 17.<br />I just wish people would learn to take more care.<br />Hope you're feeling better after your horrible scare.All For Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151973819133926868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-44744245151380236722011-05-03T13:16:48.318+10:002011-05-03T13:16:48.318+10:00wow, so glad to hear that you weren't one of t...wow, so glad to hear that you weren't one of the 1/3 in the saying "things come in threes."<br /><br />I think would be a lot to make me nervous for sure.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727990003362076201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-60326709814359109132011-05-03T12:43:41.978+10:002011-05-03T12:43:41.978+10:00That is scary.

We travel twice a week up to three different spots on the Sunshine Coast to clean offices. I'm especially nervous when it's raining. We often come across accidents - cars overturned, roads blocked off. And then we see people weaving in and out of traffic at way more than the speed limit. Actually it's a wonder there aren't more fatalities.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634491861054702416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-29366234262355418252011-05-03T10:54:50.980+10:002011-05-03T10:54:50.980+10:00Oh my God!

That is ...thank the relevant deities you are okay.<br />That is terrifying.<br />The bad things come in threes thing is because luck is caused by three things - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luck<br />and in my experience they don't have to be of the same or worse nature - you had two road scares, so maybe a third scare,or maybe something of the same level but totally unrelated - either way - it won't be worse. It also relates to the "threefold law" with whatever you put out there - particularly bad - will return to you threefold...this is a part of karma and ancient religion -eg.if you wish ill on someone, it'll come back to you three times over,or three times as strong.<br />Can you tell i can be a touch superstitious?<br />plus, I think you'll be safe on the road - time has passed :)<br />Take care. driving terrifies me. I think more people should have a healthy respect for it and again so glad you are okay...*hug*april :)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-15545197763329163212011-05-03T09:55:09.345+10:002011-05-03T09:55:09.345+10:00scary!

Driving is something so many of us take for granted and do almost without thinking. I work really hard to be present, even on short trips.
